Review of the organization’s history since it started in 1910-11 reveals an unusual number of stirring battles for court supremacy. But one team in the annals of the league has ever fin- ished the season with a clean slato, that being Pennsylvania, which cap- tured the title in 1919-20 with a rec- ord of 10 victories and no defeats. The Quakers have won flve cham- pionships, four of them in one stretch and lead all of their five rivals. Yale, the 1922-23 titlehclder, has furnished three champion teams, Columbia two end Princeton and Cornell, one each. Cornell and Columbia shared titular honors one season.

DUNDEE HAS ACCEPTED Agrees to Terms Offered for Bout Be- tween Himself and NEW BRITAIN HOPPE IS WINNER WHEN HE OUTPLAYS COCHRAN Billiard Champ Beats Cochran— Ends First Clash With 124 Point Lead 11.—Willie Hoppe, world’s champion 18.2 balkline bil- liards player, won the first block of his 1,500 point three-night match with Welker Cochran, challenger, last night, 500 to 3796, Cochran, playing brilliantly at times, failed as conspicuously at others, having a total of six blank innings. Hoppe went out with an unfinished run of 43 in the nipeteenth inning. Throughout he played consistently good billlards, although only one of his runs, in which he tallled 109 points, approached Cochran's high run of 142. The champlon took the lead in the opening inning wher he ran 90 against 6 for the young Pacific coast star, He was never overtaken, Cochran, playing his best, ran 142 in the 11th inning and cut Hoppe's lead to 32 points. But from the fifteenth inning to the end Hoppe set a pace which Cochran was unable to follow.

All-New Britain 46—West Sides 43. And after overtime play. The All-New Britaln basketball team, after dropping four straight games by close margins, and one in overtime play, last night came through with a victory over the West Sides of Hartford by a score of 46-42 after five minutes of overtime play which followed the sensational playing of La Har, who tied the game in the closing minutes of the second half. Although New Britain won, they had anything but a walk-over and the game ‘was fast and furious from whistle to whistle. At times it be- came very rough and there was a lengthy casualty list, though no one was seriously hurt. Pelletier got a nasty gash over the eye, Herman sprained an ankle, Restella’s knee was twisted and in a scrimmage Beckwith lost his eyeglasses and face protector. Brennan officiated. The fast work of the West Side boys, compared to their mediocre showing in past games, makes them loom up as strong contenders in the state, At the end of the first half the West Siders were leading by the score of 29 to 21, With New Britain management shifted the lineup and La Har went into the game wheén there were eight minutes to play, re- placing Babeock. He immediately started like a whirlwind, dribbling through the Hartford team and shooting ‘with unerring aim, He jdropged In three double-deckers and tied the tally. In the five minutes overtime La Har again shone bril- liantly and lashed the old netting for three more double-deckers which put the game on fce for the Hardware City boys. It was La Har's thirteen points that spelled victory for New Britain, though Restella also did well, getting four goals and a free try, The other locals, Babcock, Larson and Taylor likewise played a steady consistent gamo, For Hartford brightest star, While he was in the game night Wojak played very well, After the showing made by New Britain last night the chances of their beating the Dixie Speed Boys at the armory on Saturday night look pretty good.
